Fairies of Tarm have the same issue Deku Tribes had in the previous version. As of now, Fairies are unplayable unless you mess around with the files and place leather tanners and/or barracks (you need both) into the structures list for the Fairies of Tarm. I believe Encablossa can walk you through this (sorry Enca if I seem to be volunteering you).

For now, Fairies of Tarm being unable to recruit units has already been listed as a bug in the Bug Center.

Oh damn well thank you bro

@Avi Eh? All right. I'll pm him. And I guess I'll post it here too afterwards.
@Will Keep in mind that if you plan on doing multiplayer altering the files won't allow it anymore.
So I went searching through the text files and the fairies seem to be missing the leather tanner building option. They have the recruitment capability though.
All you need to do is go into the text document labeled export_descr_buildings

If you're using it on steam you should be able to find it by following the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\Hyrule\data

If you're using the disc, I imagine it would be something like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Hyrule\data

Once you're in the export_descr_buildings document, search for building smith
It shows which factions are able to make the corresponding building. So add fairy inside the brackets for every building you want.

leather_tanner blacksmith armourer heavy_armourer

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

p.s. You can do other fun stuff with this document. I gave Dishonored to the Darknuts through arenas. Baboons, peahats, and orhats to the Deku Tribes through fighting pits. Ability to build embassies and recruit diplomats to everyone! And I even gave the River Zora majora statues!(This helps keep order since they have trouble with that. I also gave Labrynna the ability to build every religious statue except for Majora. Don't want them getting destroyed by that lachryma. So much fun to be had.
Here's a link with more detailed information.

If you need any clarification feel free to PM me.

Can this work for units who don't appear int he campaign? Such as Mounted Fire Warriors and Triforce Vanguards, etc? Not sure if they are just not used in the campaign yet (not implemented) or have just not been added period yet (meaning no way to access them, even with modifying files, outside custom battle).

[Encablossa]

I'm fairly certain you can use most units found in the export_descr_unit text document.
I know I gave the Lizalfos the ability to make Volvagians and some mounted Fie Warriors to the Darknuts so it probably works.
There's also some cool monochrome units but those don't work.

Why yes. You could, via technicality, make any faction able to recruit any unit from any level barracks if you took the time to figure out each unit's internal name.
